Abstract
36 cases (26 males and 10 females aged 19-69, average age 40.3) of larynx and trachea stenosis (23/36 i.e. 64%) and occlusion (13/36 i.e. 36%) were observed between 1990-1999. The cause of larynx and trachea lesion was the prolonged intubation in 17 (47%) cases, tracheostomy--in 13 (36%) (in 12 cases performed outside our centre), external trauma in 5 cases (14%) and burns of the upper airway in 1 patient (3%). For the diagnosis endoscopic, radiologic and spirometric examinations were performed. Length of the constricted or occluded section was estimated at 5-65 mm. Patients were treated applying three methods: endoscopy, splitting of the larynx and/or trachea and "end to end" anastomosis. In most cases surgical proceeding was multistaged. The best result was obtain after "end to end" anastomosis (all patients were deccanulated).

Abstract
On the base of 755 cases of glottic cancer, the occurrence and prognostic importance of lymph node metastases were analysed. Metastases of the vocal cord cancer to cervical lymph nodes are rare. In our material amounted 9.13%. Number of metastatic lymph nodes and N factor influenced the lymph node recurrency. It is not, however, dependence statistically. Surgical treatment of the glottic cancer with various degree of advancement secures good oncological results. In our material 3 and 5 years survival rate accounted to 71.33% and 59.31%. The clinical advancement of the glottic neoplasm does not influence in statistically essential way the increase of metastases to regional lymph nodes.

Abstract
Principles of the operative technique and indication for permanent laryngotracheal separation in chronic aspiration after oncological operations are being presented. The operation is done while the tracheostomy is present. It consists of horizontal section of the trachea on the level of the tracheostomy and formation the new one by using the lower of the trachea with the skin. Upper sublaryngeal section of the trachea is being closed by stitches. This operation was performed in our clinic in one patient after partial laryngectomy due to the cancer and in two patients after extended resection of the palatal tonsil, base of the tongue and lateral wall of the hypopharynx. In all the cases the follow up was without major complications.

Abstract
Between 1987 and 1999--1289 patients were treated by surgery in the Department of Otolaryngology and Laryngologic Oncology PAM in Szczecin due to the cancer of the larynx. In this group total, eventual subtotal excision of the larynx was carried out in 801 cases. In 154 cases the phonation way was restored. In this study the remaining group of 502 patients was analysed, which underwent partial aiming at restoration of all basic functions of the larynx. In the mentioned group partial vertical laryngectomy was done in 176 cases, and partial horizontal laryngectomy in 326 cases. Larynx reconstruction with the use of tissue materials was carried out in 59 cases after vertical and in 88 cases after horizontal laryngectomy. Shortcomings and advantages of the method of various tissue application were discussed (cartilage of epiglottis, vasculary based pedicle flap of thyroid gland, submaxillary salivary gland, strap muscles among others were used).

Abstract
Eighty-nine patients with hypopharynx carcinoma treated from 1970 to 1997 at the ENT Clinic of Pomeranian Medical Academy were studied retrospectively. There were only IV a stage patients. The treatment consisted of surgery alone (n = 21), radiotherapy and post-radiotherapy surgery (n = 7), a planned combination of surgery and post-operative radiotherapy (n = 61). The 3-year survival was 34.88%, whereas the 5-year disease-free survival was 25.04%. Radiotherapy applied to operative treatment failed to exert any meaningful positive influence on the overall percentage of survivals. 17 patients had local recurrences and 6 node recurrences. Mainly following factors exerted the influence on appearance of nodal recurrence: component N and the number of metastatic nodes. It was pointed out that the results of treatment of hypopharynx carcinoma are still poor and unchanged despite of developing our skills and using new technology of treatment.

Abstract
In the Otolaryngology Department of Pomeranian Medical Academy in Szczecin since 1980-1999 14 patients with pharyngo-oesophageal diverticulum were diagnosed and treated. Diverticulectomy was performed in 13 cases. Not dangerous complications during the postoperative period were observed in four cases. In one case it was abscess in postoperative wound, in two cases fistula to soft tissue in prevertebral region and in one case paresis of vocal cord. In all these cases complications retreated spontaneous. We had not observed any recurrence of pharyngo-oesophageal diverticulum. In 6 cases control radiological examination was performed (from 2 months to 7 years after surgical treatment). In all cases we hadn't observed any recurrence of diverticulum. In one case radiological examination revealed diverticulosis in all digestive system. But even in this case we hadn't found recurrence of Zenker's diverticulum. In this paper we discuss other methods of treatment of pharyngoesophageal diverticulum.

Abstract
A method is presented for forming short, mucosa-lined vocal shunt in cases of supracricoid laryngectomy with preservation of one or two arytenoids, or the interarytenoid fold alone. On the basis of radiologic and particularly radiocinematographic examinationion of the anterior pharyngeal wall is of paramount importance. In cases of complete absence of leakage, said wall lies in the plane of the arytenoids or somewhat posteriorly. After simple supracricoid laryngectomy it is possible to prevent aspiration also by translocation of the anterior pharyngeal wall into the plane of the cricoid cartilage plate. The clinical experience with this supracricoid shunt is still scanty. Of 25 cases with the arytenoid vocal shunt, phonation was possible in 22 cases under the expiratory pressure of 20-45 cm H2O; in one under the more elevated pressure, and in the last two the result is still not known. Loudness of speech was 70-100 db and its comprehensibility 73-90 percent. Complete absence of leakage was observed in 17 cases, "practical" prevention of aspiration (some drops of thin fluids, no saliva) in seven cases, profuse leakage in one case (ceased after correction), In the last 10 consecutive cases the problem of aspiration was completely eliminated. Advantages and disadvantages of our own method in comparison with Asai's method have been presented.
